Benjamin and friends...

It's been awhile since we have posted any Benjamin sightings...so thought we'd take this opportunity and focus exclusively on Benjamin! :0 ) He is growing so much and learning so much that we believe he will enter Harvard by the time he's 6! Ok, not really, but he is soooo smart (like his Daddy) and loves to sing (like his Mommy). He is also the best "pray-er" ever! He LOVES to pray--we hope this continues!!!

Benjamin turned 3 in January, and is finishing his second year of preschool. In just 2 short years, he will already be in Kindergarten--hard to imagine, huh??? He has the best sense of humor, and is the most sensitive, caring little boy you might meet. Some of his favorite words are:

"Hostible" = hospital

"Lellow" = yellow

"I do it?" = Can I help you do it, Mommy?

"What 'cha doin'?" = What 'cha doin'?

"Slamlich" = sandwich

He also believes that all coins are pennies, and that dollar bills are newspapers. :) He told someone recently that we put newspapers in his piggy bank ($3). He repeatedly tells us that if we eat poo-poo, we will go to the hostible, and that we should not do that.

He recently learned how to potty all by himself--no longer needs Mommy or Daddy to help with anything as long as there is a stool in the bathroom! He just goes in, does his thing, washes his hands, flushed, and comes out. Now if we could get rid of the night diapers.... :)

He is really strong and loves sports--especially baseball, soccer, football, and (believe it or not), golf. Gotta love my kid who loves golf!! :) He also likes to help dig in the yard, which is really good because it was Spring this weekend (it has turned back to winter for GA for the next few days) and he helped us dig a lot of rocks out of our yard! Well...he tried to help, anyway.

And, last but not least, Benjamin LOVES to talk. He does not really keep quiet--even in his sleep!! Wonder where he gets that from...hmmm....... :)

So--here are a few pictures of him with his friends Stephanie and Joy, and a few of him hamming the camera! Enjoy!!

(Are you done now, Mommy?)

You don't bring me flowers....
